The CR-77 is rated for a maximum power input of 100 watts, making it suitable for both low-power handheld use and higher-power mobile or base station applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What does a VSWR of less than 1.5:1 mean for my radio performance?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) measures how efficiently power is transferred from your radio to the antenna. A VSWR of less than 1.5:1 means very little power is being reflected back — ensuring more of your transmitter's energy is radiated as signal, resulting in clearer, longer-range communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is the CR-77 antenna suitable for vehicle (mobile) installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Absolutely. At just 29cm in length and weighing approximately 103g, the CR-77 is compact and lightweight, making it an excellent choice for car or truck mobile radio installations. You will need a compatible mount (e.g., NMO or SO-239 base) for vehicle use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What radio transceivers is the CR-77 dual band antenna compatible with?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The CR-77 antenna uses a standard PL-259 (UHF male) connector and a 50-ohm impedance, making it compatible with the vast majority of ham radios, walkie-talkies, and mobile transceivers that support VHF (144MHz) and UHF (430MHz) frequencies, including popular brands like Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, and Baofeng (with adapter).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can the CR-77 antenna handle high-power transmissions?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.
